Is it natural to grieve over lost possessions?
Floating in the North Sea, I recall a feeling of tranquillity as I watched a golden sunset glint across the waves. I was ice swimming with friends, a sport that reaps benefits like living longer and combatting depression. As I’d spent most of 2020 enduring the stress of job hunting in a pandemic, the icy plunge felt like a needed change of pace. For a moment, everything was right in the world. That was, until the most precious thing I owned sank to the sea floor - never to be seen again.
